Always follow up

Problem

Now that the meeting is over, the hard part is done. But it is not the time to rest on your laurels.

This is where many meeting organizers make a mistake and assume that the topics will progress by themselves.

Some items may not have been clearly defined as actions that need to be completed, in particular when meeting with people external to your company.

Scenario

You are just getting out of a meeting with an investor who offered to introduce to the CEO of a company of their portfolio.

What should you do next?
